baby blessing day

Here is a photo diary of our little Gwen and Gretta’s Blessing Day. My mom made their beautiful dresses from my wedding dress and I made the headbands from the scraps. I am obsessed with how beautiful they look, they are my “mini-brides”.

A baby blessing in the LDS church is when a priesthood holder (usually the father) takes a new baby and gives them a name and a blessing. The blessing consists of special promises for the child’s life. When I was little I used to think of it as when the fairies in Sleeping Beauty come and bestow their gifts on the baby princess. Haha.

We are so blessed to share this amazing day with so many friends and family.
